Arrest warrant

An arrest warrant is a warrant issued by a judge or magistrate on behalf of the state, which authorizes the arrest and detention of an individual, or the search and seizure of an individual's property.

Canada

Once the warrant has been issued, section 29 of the Code requires that the arresting officer must give notice to the accused of the existence of the warrant, the reason for it, and produce it if requested, if it is feasible to do so.

Czech Republic

Czech courts may issue an arrest warrant when it is not achievable to summon or bring in for questioning a charged person and at the same time there is a reason for detention (i.e. concern that the charged person would either flee, interfere with the proceedings or continue criminal activity, see Remand in the Czech Republic).

European Arrest Warrant

The European Arrest Warrant (EAW) is an arrest warrant valid throughout all member states of the European Union (EU). Once issued, it requires another member state to arrest and transfer a criminal suspect or sentenced person to the issuing state so that the person can be put on trial or complete a detention period.

An EAW can only be issued for the purposes of conducting a criminal prosecution (not merely an investigation), or enforcing a custodial sentence. It can only be issued for offences carrying a maximum penalty of 12 months or more in prison. Where sentence has already been passed an EAW can only be issued if the prison term to be enforced is at least four months long.

The introduction of the EAW system was intended to increase the speed and ease of extradition throughout EU countries by removing the political and administrative phases of decision-making which had characterised the previous system of extradition in Europe, and converting the process into a system run entirely by the judiciary. Since it was first implemented in 2004 the use of the EAW has steadily risen. Member state country evaluation reports suggest that the number of EAWs issued has increased from approximately 3,000 in 2004 to 13,500 in 2008.

It has been directly elected every five years by universal suffrage since 1979. However, turnout at European Parliament elections has fallen consecutively at each election since that date, and has been under 50% since 1999. Turnout in 2014 stood at 42.54% of all European voters.

Although the European Parliament has legislative power that the Council and Commission do not possess, it does not formally possess legislative initiative, as most national parliaments of European Union member states do. The Parliament is the "first institution" of the EU (mentioned first in the treaties, having ceremonial precedence over all authority at European level), and shares equal legislative and budgetary powers with the Council (except in a few areas where the special legislative procedures apply). It likewise has equal control over the EU budget. Finally, the European Commission, the executive body of the EU, is accountable to Parliament. In particular, Parliament elects the President of the Commission, and approves (or rejects) the appointment of the Commission as a whole. It can subsequently force the Commission as a body to resign by adopting a motion of censure.

The European arrest warrant: Issues and solutions [FULL VIDEO] [EN]

Sarah LudfordMEP (ALDE) has been appointed Rapporteur for a European Parliament report 'Review of the European Arrest Warrant'. As a member of the LIBE committee and the UK Liberal DemocratEuropean justice & human rights spokeswoman, she has been actively involved in the area of European police and criminal justice cooperation and has taken a strong interest in particular in the operation of the European Arrest Warrant.
Her broad aims are to strengthen respect for the principle of proportionality and fundamental rights in its application while not undermining its vital role in bringing criminals expeditiously to justice.
To help prepare her report Sarah Ludford is hosting with Renate Weber MEP an ALDE group hearing on "The European Arrest Warrant: issues and solutions" in order to get input from experts in the field. Representatives of the European Institutions, civil society - NGOs and academics - and national authorities will present their views on the EAW following which Sarah Ludford welcomes questions & answers and discussion.

abuse of parliamentary procedure European arrest warrant

The Commons Speaker, John Bercow, said: ‘I have given a fairly clear indication that this has been a sorry saga, and the house should not be put in this position.’
David Cameron has withdrawn his commitment to holding a vote on the European arrest warrant in a move that the Speaker of the House of Commons said would be regarded as “contemptuous” by the public.
MPs from all parties lined up to criticise a government “stitch-up” as it emerged they would be allowed to vote on only 11 relatively minor EU justice and home affairs measures, not the whole package of 35 that includes the European arrest warrant.

Justice undermined by European Arrest Warrants

Extraditions from the UK under the European Arrest Warrant have increased by 50% during the last year. This system subverts the traditions of British justice: UK courts are no longer allowed to examine the evidence in a case before rubber-stamping extradition, and in fact one can be extradited for an "offence" which is not even a crime in the UK. In this news item broadcast on Press TV on August 23rd2010, the worsening threat to British justice is discussed in the context of the 2008 case of Dr Fredrick Toben, seized at Heathrow Airport on a German warrant, and the further sinister developments of the European Investigation Order and the Schengen II database.
